Apple TV+ is kicking off 2026 with one of its strongest months in recent memory. The platform has built a reputation for high-quality originals, and January delivers a perfect mix of long-awaited finales, returning favorites, and new additions. Whether you’re in the mood for psychological mind-benders, dystopian sci-fi, or sharp comedy, there’s something here for every kind of viewer. Here’s your complete guide to the biggest titles dropping or wrapping up in January 2026.
Severance Season 2 Finale – The Wait Is Finally Over
The most anticipated event of the month is the Severance Season 2 finale. Adam Scott returns as Mark Scout, an employee at Lumon Industries whose work and personal memories are surgically separated. After a tense and twist-filled season, the final episode (titled “The Rightside Up”) promises to answer major questions about Lumon’s dark secrets, the severed floor, and Mark’s fractured identity.
Why this finale is a must-watch:
- The entire season has been building unbearable tension – the finale is expected to be emotionally devastating and visually stunning
- Creator Ben Stiller and the writers have teased “closure with consequences” – nothing will feel cheap or easy
- All previous episodes are available to rewatch – perfect for a full weekend marathon before the finale drops
- Early buzz from critics calls it one of the most satisfying season conclusions in recent TV history
Mark your calendar: the finale is scheduled for late January 2026 (exact date TBA, likely mid-to-late month based on weekly drops).
